Church should go back to Acts 2:42 keeping house groups small, mobile moving-from-home-to-home.
Could be the best thing to happen to “Christians” who “attend” “church” but have no personal, intimate walk with the Lord or close personal relationships with their brothers and sisters in Christ. So many Christians are far too dependent on great men of God like MacArthur, but lack in their personal walk with the Lord.
No way the government could shut down thousands of house groups, especially if they moved from house to house.
There was a time in China when believers would so meet, and said to one another, because they had been infiltrated by the Communists, “Pray and ask the Lord where to gather.” He would show them - but the infiltrators of course never got the message.
What Newsome and other governments are doing is doing no harm to the church of Jesus Christ who said He would build it, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. Government can only hinder external organizations. Not the body of Christ - that thrives under persecution.
Amen..so true.
